What the hell are you talking about? That's exactly the way a Manhattan is supposed to be made. Whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters. WTF?

@Kyanlikethepepper Whoa whoa whoa..this is a little over my head... so you add..Vodka...*THinks hard...then add Tonic..? or Tonic THEN Vodka? and just..put them together? in cup or a hat? *sweating ok well here goes nothing! *Puts Vodka bottle and tonic in my hat

Why didnt you wash the ice with the vermouth?

[DubsMood]

@DBmuscle you get confused pretty easily, dont you ??

Well made. In the cocktail world,,there are 5,000 million opinions. For me this is the way a Manhattan should be made

Is that really a proper amount of Angostura bitter? I'd say that dash is pretty small, when I make a Manhattan, I tend to use a larger dash of it.

@spankminister He is clearly a college student who thinks that alcohol has no use except for its intoxicating properties.

@RHCP061 This is a cocktail, internet tough guy. If you think the ONLY way to enjoy whiskey is cask strength and neat, it's because you have no idea what you're talking about.

Sure, many whiskeys are great neat, but some whiskeys really shine with a drop of water, or a little ice, or in an Old Fashioned/Manhattan. And it's a real shame that many people think stronger always means better, since any taster will tell you that water can open up flavors in a great whiskey.

Im sorry. . .. this guy and the way he tries to teach you how to make a cocktail is wayyyy to involved. . . first of all. . . he has the table FULL of stuff that is intimidating to start with ... and he talks way too much which is confusing . . he needs to get on, show how to make the drink with as little as possible and dont go into all the talk and words he likes to use and cut this demonstration down by 3 mins at least. . . . this is NOT a good instructional video.

I've been drinking Brandy Manhattans for years. Recently tried bourbon. And this evening, finally tried rye (Wild Turkey.) Exactly as this guy did it, though i didn't dilute it as much. BEST MANHATTAN I EVER HAD!

why would i want my drink less potent?
